Wags without Walks: Enrich Your Dog’s Life Beyond the Daily Walk

A Dog’s Happiness Goes Beyond Walks

Most dog breeds weren’t just bred to run—they were bred to think. Whether it was herding sheep, retrieving game, or guarding property, dogs were originally given tasks that engaged both their brains and bodies.

Today, many pet dogs don’t have jobs to do, but they still have the same natural instincts. Without an outlet for their mental energy, they can become restless, frustrated, or even overexcited—no matter how many walks they get.

That’s where Wags without Walks comes in. This membership is all about giving your dog the mental enrichment they need, helping to tire them out in a way that truly satisfies them.

Whether your dog needs this in addition to their daily walks or as an alternative when walks aren’t possible, these activities will help them feel calmer, happier, and more fulfilled, no matter what their breed or age.

Who is Wags Without Walks For?

✅ Owners with busy schedules who struggle to fit in long walks.

✅ Owners of reactive dogs or anxious dogs who find the outside world overwhelming.

✅ Older dogs or dogs recovering from injury or surgery, who need a low-impact dog enrichment program to stay engaged.

✅Owners of high energy dogs who need more than just a walk to tire them out.

✅ People who want to connect with other like minded dog owners

✅Puppy owners looking for ways to settle their new bundle of fun without over exercising them.

Wags Without Walks isn’t just another online dog training course. It’s a passion project built from my years of experience as a professional dog trainer, helping pet owners like you keep their dogs happy, calm, and engaged – even when walks aren’t an option.

I created this dog enrichment membership after working with countless dog owners who felt guilty when they couldn’t walk their dog every day or tire their dog out through exercise alone.

But here’s the truth: walks aren’t the only way to meet your dog’s needs! I’ve helped hundreds of dogs thrive using simple, fun dog training games, and now, I want to help you too.

This isn’t a big company or a faceless dog training program. It’s just me – guiding you and your dog every step of the way. When you join Wags Without Walks, you’re not just getting an online dog training membership; you’re getting personalised support from a real person who cares about your success.

What's included in the membership

🔹 Live Q&A Sessions every Wednesday at 6pm – Unlike big, impersonal dog training platforms, you can actually ask me questions and get advice tailored to your dog.

Hi, I'm Laura

I’m a passionate dog lover and proud mum to four wonderful dogs: a Dalmatian called Siri, a crazy rescue Spaniel called Mungo, a Pomchi called Emba, and my daughter’s Chihuahua Dexter.

Alongside them, I share my home with alpacas, chickens, cats, and my twin girls—it’s a true menagerie!

Living in the beautiful Scottish countryside, I’m surrounded by nature and animals, which fills my life with joy.

Like many of you, I’m constantly juggling work, family, and the needs of my pets.

As a professional dog trainer, I’ve spent years helping dogs and their owners navigate the challenges of restricted exercise, behavioural issues, and finding new ways to keep their dogs happy, especially when daily walks aren’t practical.

But I haven’t always had it all figured out.

The pressure to walk a dog multiple times a day is something I’ve struggled with for years.

When my twins were little, getting out in bad weather felt impossible. Then there was Orla, my old reactive rescue, who found walks stressful. After Siri, my Dalmatian, had surgery to remove a lump, she was put on restricted exercise, which made things even more challenging. And, when I caught Covid, I couldn’t even make it down the stairs, let alone take my dogs out.

That’s when I knew I had to rethink how I cared for my dogs.

I transformed the way I approached dog care, focusing on calm, enriching activities that fit into my busy life.

Today, I run a business that brings me both balance and joy, and I’ve found ways to meet my dogs’ needs that work for all of us.

I no longer feel pressured to walk my dogs every day, even when we’re all fit and healthy.

Instead, I use fun, mentally stimulating activities that keep them relaxed and happy.

Now, through Wags Without Walks, I’m passionate about helping dog owners like you.

I’m here to show you how to keep your dog happy and fulfilled without the stress, guilt, or pressure of daily walks.

It’s absolutely possible to give your dog the care they deserve, even when walks aren’t an option—and I’m here to support you every step of the way.

If you’re ready to take control, reduce stress, and create a peaceful, happy life for you and your dog, I’d love to welcome you to the Wags Without Walks community.

Together, we’ll make dog care easier, calmer, and more enjoyable for both of you.
